Our Services

We offer a range of services related to children’s play – from a toy library and scrap resources for arts and crafts activities, to play equipment for hire and support to run your own play projects and events.

We’re always adding to our services so please feel free to get in touch with us. We’re more than happy to help you with anything play-related if we can, whether you’re a parent, school, nursery, play professional or community group.

Scrap resources for arts and crafts

We have an exciting range of safe, recycled ‘scrap’ materials to use for all your creative activities such as cardboard, paper, fabric, foil and plastic.

Advice and Support

You’re always welcome to get in touch with us, whether you’d like some information or guidance or practical help to get a play project or activity off the ground. We’re also happy to share our ideas and ‘top tips’ and show you how to use any toys/equipment you’ve hired from us.

Mobile Support Unit

Helps local communities to develop their own play activities and events – especially in places where play opportunities are more scarce, such as small rural villages. Many of the community play projects we’ve helped kick start now run year after year.
